David Warner has appeared in two Star Trek films and a two-part episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. He first played the part of Ambassador St. John Talbot in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. In 1991, he returned to the Star Trek franchise to play Klingon chancellor Gorkon in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. The following year, he played Cardassian Gul Madred in the TNG episodes "Chain of Command, Part I" and "Part II". Warner has become well-known for his role as the unfortunate Keith Jennings, a photo-journalist who becomes one of the evil Damien's victims, in the classic horror movie The Omen. Another role for which he is remembered is that of Jack the Ripper, opposite Malcolm McDowell's H.G. Wells, in writer/director Nicholas Meyer's acclaimed 1979 science fiction adventure Time After Time. For his performance in this film, Warner was nominated for a Saturn Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films. Since then, he has become well identified with villainous roles, typically in "genre" films. In the 1980s alone he played: the role of the "Evil Genius" in Terry Gilliam's sci-fi comedy Time Bandits; the villainous ENCOM executive Ed Dillinger, his evil creation, Sark, and voiced the Master Control Program in the Disney's 1982 cult sci-fi film Tron; mad scientist Alfred Necessiter in the 1983 sci-fi comedy The Man with Two Brains; and a demented vampire hunter determined to kill the young protagonist in the 1988 horror comedy My Best Friend is a Vampire.

Jewel Staite’s most memorable role has been “Kaylee”, the beloved mechanic on Fox’s “Firefly”, which later became the major motion picture “Serenity”, in which Jewel reprised her role. Since then, she starred as the deliciously hateful character “Heidi” in Bryan Fuller’s “Wonderfalls, as well as “Dr. Jennifer Keller” in Syfy’s “Stargate: Atlantis”. Born in White Rock, British Columbia, Jewel Staite knew she was destined for the screen at the tender age of six. Her first calling was fashion, but as most fashion executives are prejudiced against six year old designers, she decided to temporarily move into the acting field. A dozen commercials, made-for-television movies, and guest starring roles later, she appeared as the spunky Saturnian alien “Catalina” in the short-lived sci-fi series “Space Cases”, on Nickelodeon. Numerous television appearances followed, including a lead role in “Flash Forward”, starring Ben Foster, as well as “Higher Ground” with Hayden Christensen, and several recurring roles on “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!”, Canada’s “Da Vinci’s Inquest”, and NBC’s “Just Deal” to name just a few.

Morris voiced the supporting role of Dr. Sweet in Disney's 2001 film Atlantis: The Lost Empire as well as its 2003 sequel, Atlantis: Milo's Return. In the January 25, 2007, episode of the The CW television series Smallville, Morris also portrayed the DC Comics superhero The Martian Manhunter/John Jones, which became a recurring character in the series. He reprised that role on the show's sixth season finale as well as the episodes "Bizarro" and "Cure" in the seventh season and the episodes "Odyssey", "Prey" and "Bulletproof" in the eighth season. He reprised this role in the ninth season episodes "Absolute Justice", "Checkmate" and "Salvation".

With Guest Illustrators, Authors, & Panelists

Rick Sternbach is an Emmy and Hugo award winning illustrator who is best known for his space illustrations and his work on the Star Trek television series. He served as the senior illustrator/ designer for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager. Sternbach created the designs for several studio models, including the Intrepid-class USS VOYAGER and, with Herman Zimmerman, the Deep Space Nine Station just to name a few. He was also responsible for designing hundreds of props and set pieces, including the mural painting of the Enterprise-D in Picard's ready room as well as weaponry, PADDs, tricorders and communicators for Starfleet, Klingon, Romulan, Cardassian, Bajoran, Kazon, Ferengi, and other races. As scenic artist for Star Trek Nemesis, he provided designs for everything from the Argo shuttle to a Romulan Valdore-type sculpture. Together with Michael Okuda, he served as a technical consultant to the writing staff, maintaining technical and chronological continuity and inventing scientific terms and technobabble. Sternbach is also the co-author of the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual, Star Trek: The Next Generation USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D Blueprints all of which were published by Pocket Books.

He will be appearing Saturday and Sunday hosting a few panels and participating in a Q&A session.

Larry Nemecek, after years as a Star Trek author, editor, archivist, interviewer, producer and consultant, now simply tells people, “I work in Trekland.” You probably know him from years as managing editor of Star Trek Communicator, or author of the TNG Companion from Pocket Books and others. Now, he’s currently helming his first film project, The Con of Wrath—a documentary preserving the wild and human story behind fandom’s greatest “meltdown turned miracle,” the 1982 Houston “Ultimate Fantasy” mega-Star Trek show. Of course, TREKLAND is also the name of his blog at larrynemecek.com, which holds not only his archives and photo galleries but his latest posts and video chats with Treklanders of all stripes: actors, designers, writers, licensees, and fans too! Other projects are the original Star Trek: The Experience, the World Tour and such … consulting and commentary for the DVDs … his two columns for the Titan Star Trek magazines since 1998, now sold in the US, or as a content producer for both the original and revamped startrek.com, or the guts of the long-running Star Trek Fact Files. Suffice to say, Larry‘s seen a lot come and go in Trekland from his front-row seat in Hollywood—which he shares in tales and humor at his convention talks, both here and abroad. He’s been in the fandom trenches, too, crewing SoonerCon and founding ThunderCon back in his native Oklahoma.

He will be appearing Saturday and Sunday hosting a few panels and participating in a Q&A session.

She started off as an assistant to the writers/producers but quickly moved into the position of script coordinator. During her time there, Star Trek had an open script submission policy. Anyone could send in a script in the hopes of having it produced. Part of her dudies there was to help process the 13,000 plus scripts that the department received throughout the years. She joins us not only as a panelist and guest but as "Manager to the Stars." For the past 13 years she has represented several celebrities including a few of our guests this weekend. Lolita will be hosting a panel titled "The Past, Present and Future of Star Trek". She's an old friend and is thrilled to be back here in Florida!

Author - Glenda C. Finkelstein has a wide and varied career as a writer having published song lyrics, human-interest articles, poems, short stories, novels, and screenplays. Her interest in writing was not just a happenstance having a great-grandfather who was a wonderful poet, and aunts and uncles who nurtured her imagination. Inspired by the legendary J.R.R. Tolkien, this art form was a natural course for her to take. She has written one historical novel, but her heart lies mostly with the Science Fiction and Fantasy genre’s where her imagination can soar unhindered. Her writing has won her several awards, and is branching off into new uncharted territories. Her latest novel, “Nemesis Returns,” was published by Aisling Press and marks her sixth book. In addition to her writing, she has ventured into the arena of acting. She voices six of her female characters in the audio adaptation of her novel, “Nemesis Rising,”. The audio version of “The Edge of The Universe” is currently available for podcast on her website at www.glendas-books.com.

Author - K.L. Nappier. Fast-paced action and smart, stylish writing are the hallmarks of K.L. Nappier's speculative thrillers, mysteries and dark fiction. Some call her style eclectic; some call it cross-over. Moving between genres may keep her books out of the mainstream, but once you've discovered her, you'll realize what thousands of readers already know, and why critics think she's one of the best authors writing independent fiction.

Author - William Mize made publishing history when his novel "Resurrection Angel" was nominated by the Private Eye Writers of America for one of their highest honors, The Shamus Award for Best First Novel of The Year, making it the first Print on Demand book ever to be nominated for a major publishing award. In 2006, he returned to the Print On Demand arena, to bring “Resurrection Angel” and the second book in the series, “Everlasting Life” to the marketplace. With gorgeous new designed matching covers, and a third book “Spear of Destiny” coming soon, it marks the triumphant return of a great mystery writer and inspiration for a new generation of writers who want to use the internet and up to date technology to bring their works to life. William Mize currently lives in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he is at work on the next book in the planned twelve book series.

Author and lecturer Chris Berman might be considered “the accidental author”. While recovering from a bicycle versus SUV accident, he wrote his first novel, The Hive. The Hive invaded American and United Kingdom bookstores in February of 2009. After completing this book, he wrote RED MOON followed by STAR PIRATES which has just been released and a new work, DAS BELL, is awaiting publication. Berman grew up as a young boy on a diet of science fiction from authors such as Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke and John Campbell. Later, he added others, such as Alan Dean Foster, Ben Bova, Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, Eric Flint, Harry Turtledove and James P. Hogan to his list of favorites. Science fiction was not his only passion, so was science fact. As a boy, he lived a few blocks down from a serious amateur astronomer. This man taught him about the stars and planets as well as how to photograph astronomical events and grind his own mirrors and lenses to make telescopes. He is also a spaceflight enthusiast with a good deal of expertise in both the US and Russian space programs.

They soon found themselves in the studio working on two new projects: a brand new, all-parody album “Ramming Speed”, and a debut all-original album “Geeks Unite”.

Event Overview

Location

We are so excited to announce that Away Mission: Orlando will take place at the Hilton Orlando Resort in the heart of the Walt Disney Resort within walking distance of Downtown Disney!

OK, now I know what you are thinking. Wow, that is a pretty luxurious 4-star hotel. Can we afford it? Well hold on to those pointy little ears folks. We have secured an incredible deal for our guests. Room nights are only $99 per night with NO RESORT FEES! This is an absolutely unheard of price for this caliber of hotel. You will not find a lower price for this hotel anywhere else, including the "discount" hotel web sites where you would have to make a non refundable prepayment of your entire hotel stay. Plus, normally the Hilton would charge an additional $10 per day for parking but we have also had this price reduced to just $6 per day, just for our patrons!

Wow, what an incredible opportunity to stay at a Disney Resort hotel and enjoy all of the perks for such a low price. Ah, yes, I said perks! The Hilton offers several perks and details are available on their web site but here are a couple that really stand out. If you stay at the Hilton, you will have access to discounted tickets to all the Disney attractions. You will also be eligible for Extra Magic Hours – Each day one of the Disney Theme Parks opens an hour early or stays open up to an extra three hours, so guests of the Hilton have the opportunity to get extra time in the parks. This terrific feature allows guests to enjoy the Theme Parks at a relaxed pace and to take advantage of their complimentary transportation to any of the Disney theme parks and Downtown Disney. It is one of the most exciting and innovative ways to see the Disney Theme Parks:

- With so much to see and do, make the most of your vacation with shorter lines.

- Enjoy after hours easy access to some of the most popular attractions.

- Make your day more relaxing by doing everything at an easy, relaxed pace.

OK, so I know what you are thinking again (remember I can do that Vulcan mind meld thingy). Vulcan Events provide such a full schedule that I won't have time to enjoy the theme parks. Well, the Hilton has agreed to extend our incredible $99 rate up to 3 days before and 3 days after our event. Bring your family and friends a few days early or stay a few extra nights and enjoy all the benefits the Hilton has to offer at your own pace.

Another great benefit of staying at our host hotel: as many of you know, our events go on late into the evening Friday and Saturday nights. Not to mention that our celebrity guests have been known to hang out and have fun with their fans at the hotel bar or restaurant. Just ask the guys who enjoyed Long Island Iced Tea's with Christopher Lloyd late into the evening or those who watched the hockey game with Michael Shanks at the sports bar or even a few who worked out with Casper Van Dien at the hotel's gym. Think of all the experiences that you'd miss out. Why would you stay anywhere else!

We must warn you that the hotel will be at full occupancy that weekend. They were holding a block of rooms for our group but that block is now gone. They may still be able to accommodate you but not for much longer. To make your reservations dial 1-800-782-4414. Don't forget to mention our group code "VUL" or Vulcan Events - Away Mission: Orlando. You may also reserve online by visiting our customized RESERVATION PAGE. NOT ALL ROOM TYPES ARE LISTED ONLINE - CALL THE RESERVATION NUMBER FOR MORE OPTIONS - Don't hesitate and reserve today!

Theses ladies combine their love of all things geeky with the sass and comedy of old-school burlesque, all while aiming to put on the most epic show you've ever seen. You can check them out on facebook at www.facebook.com/skillfocusburlesque.

Convention attendees, stop by their table during the day to pick up your presale wristband for $5 or pay $10 cash at the door.

While this classic style burlesque show contains no nudity, it is still definitely an adults only event. You must be 18 or older to attend.

Q&A Sessions

Normally held in the main ballroom, question and answer sessions are scheduled throughout the weekend. All of our celebrity guests will have a minimum of 30 minutes on stage during the event. The Q&A sessions give you the opportunity to see your favorite stars on stage and ask them questions in a forum setting.

Additional Activities

There is so much more to see and do at Vulcan Events Conventions that sleep is just an option! This time around we are planning even MORE fun stuff, if that’s even possible! Friday’s schedule is now loaded with panels ranging from model and prop building to real space exploration, tips on how to develop your idea into a fleshed out novel and how to get that novel published and much much more. We are also working on a theatrical presentation by some of our attending celebrities. A film room running some rare videos as well as some of your favorites. Don’t forget Rocky Horror at midnight! Our dealers’ room is also open for you early bird shoppers! Folks, that’s just on Friday afternoon! Saturday is the busiest day with activities that run from 9:00 AM to 2:00 AM Sunday morning! With celebrity hosted functions all weekend long including a banquet dinner, a dessert party, and perhaps even a luncheon and of course, all of our guests will host Q&A sessions, sign autographs and pose for photo ops. Don’t forget our autograph and collectables auctions, our Halloween themed dance party and so much more! Vulcan Events gives you the most access to our celebrity guests than any other event. Nothing in Florida compares to us! We offer the big name guests you want to see with the intimate fan friendly environment that is really missed from the enormous comic book and media conventions these days. Our style of event is a dying breed. We work very hard to make our events an experience you’ll never forget. We hope you will join us and enjoy.
